I was intrigued by the image from their Website and proximity to Xian tian di, however when checking in the staff was not only rude and indifferent but outright refused to help with late check out arrangement and help with luggage. Really bad attitude. The room was spacious but lighting terrible dark and the aircon had a problem just couldnt set at proper temperature and kept blasting ice cold air at even 24C setting. The condition of the bathroom was disgusting with a huge leak at the ceiling looking like water damage and afraid the ceiling plaster would come down on me. Their restaurant on 8 floor is accessible via a separate lift on 7 th floor but the smell inside that lift was terrible. That staff didn't care when i mentioned this. For the gym it consists of 2 sorry looking treadmill behind glass door exposed to the bar lounge next to restaurant a bit strange like in a birdcage. It defenitely does not live up to a boutique style hotel and with a room rate of 120US over its not worth it.
Really enjoyed staying at the Pudi. I normally stay at the Marriott which is about twice as expensive for a smaller room. The room was large, bed comfortable, in a great location. Breakfast was simple, hard boil eggs, hash browns, vegetables. For the price, it's hard to beat.
We spent three nights here on a recent trip to Shanghai. The room is large and the bathroom is massive; both were well appointed, but that is where things stopped! After an afternoon walk around Fuxing Park, we picked up a bottle of wine to enjoy in our room. When we asked the man behind the desk if we could have some ice, he looked puzzled since ice was supposedly provided with turn down service (we never got evening ice or turn down service in three days!). We finally got some ice, but it was like pulling teeth. On our first evening, we asked the person behind the desk if we could get a cab. He waved his hand and said...".find one outside"! Breakfast the next morning was disappointing...cold food in the warmer dishes and not good quality meats. But the coup de grace happened when we returned to our room the second evening at 9 pm, after having left the room at 9 am. All our dirty cups and saucers were still sitting on the bar, filled with leftover liquid from the morning, and our coffee and tea packets had not been replenished. I went down to the desk to ask them to take away the dirty dishes, and the man behind the desk (the same one...no surprise) said they didn't know if we were finished with them so they left them! When we returned the third evening, our coffee cups were clean but my half empty yogurt container was sitting prominently on the bar where I left it at 8:30 am! Our wine glasses were never returned. We never got clean sheets in three nights, the Internet was inconsistent, and one of two elevators did not work. For a boutique hotel with a supposed good reputation, this place really missed the mark for us!
First I was told there was no air conditioning at this time of year (April), but the hallway and the elevator were air conditioned. Outside the temp was 65-70 degrees, and with the sun beaming in the large windows, our room was on fire. When my friend almost fainted from the heat on our third day, I got very angry (being overheated makes me angry!) and demanded they turn on the air conditioning. Suddenly someone who knew how to work the air conditioner materialized and we had cool air. Why did it take three days? The sixth floor also smelled bad. I will never stay here again.
Truly enjoyed this boutique hotel. Large well appointed rooms with sitting area and desk area. Large bathroom with freestanding tub. The TV rotates so one can watch in bed, at the sitting are, the desk or the bathtub. The back of the freestanding TV unit is the best stocked bar of any hotel room in which I have stayed. Full bottles of wines and spirits. A mini bar is also available. The hotel is set is a quiet neighborhood admist tree lined streets, with great pastry shops, coffee shops and a fresh fruit shop that also makes juices and smoothies. Walking distance to Metro and many up market eating options including the SoHo complex. Just a great place to be. Will return.
The location is very close to Fuxing Park and many other attractions nearby including the Shikumen Museum and within walking distance to Xintiandi.The hotel address is listed as Yandang Rd but the entrance is in Nanchang Rd up a driveway, so it was hard to find. Staff were courteous if a little stiff. The initial impression was of very dim lighting which gave it a sombre feel but the room was opulent, with a huge bedroom/sitting room area, office desk, and massive bathroom. Tiny kitchen area had a microwave. It was immaculately clean, and extremely comfortable. Lighting was confusing though.
The room and the bathroom is spacious and well equipped, interesting artwork in room. To me the room is too dim and prefer to have better lighting, the remote control for the blinds is kind of strange and maybe it is me, unable to find the switch for one of the ceiling light which needed to cut off with the master switch.... the light switch for the TV/Mini Bar in the middle of the room is hidden under the top of the bar... Breakfast is definitely not acceptable....
Just a really great hotel. The rooms are incredible, the service is perfect and I am sorry I only had one night. This is understated luxury. The location is also perfect in the French quarter. Good food and bars just around the corner. Definitely worth a stay.
First of all you deserve a huge CONGRATULATIONS for even finding this little known hotel here on Tripadvisor, I never found it in any brochures and took a pot luck gamble with a Travelzoo deal one day...and I'm glad I did, this is an absolute GEM and I'll explain why! I stayed here for 4 nights, my first time to Shanghai and wanted to stay in a quality hotel for that little touch of luxury but without paying the 'big name' hotel prices. I flew from London Heathrow directly into Shanghai with Virgin Atlantic. Decided to take the Maglev train for a laugh (do it, boy it was fun flying at 273mph!) to Longyang road and then changed to Line 2 (Green) to East Narying Road. Then connected to Line 10 (Lavender) Subway line to Xintiandi... the whole journey cost about £4 and that included the pricey Maglev. The subway was only about £1.30 and costs NOTHING compared to the London Underground. It's also super modern and uses Siemens trains, absolutely loved it. Announcements were in english and staff were always on hand if you needed advice. The hotel was an 8 minute walk from Xiantiandi station in a perfectly fine part of the town either day or night, I felt comfortable. This Hotel occupies the side of a high rise building, not the whole of it so this truly is a Boutique hotel. It's tucked behind Fuxing Park in the French quarter which you walk through on your way to and from the Subway station which is lovely. I liked the Hotels privacy but granted the reception was a little tricky to find initially. Check-in was a breeze and I was given my electronic room key to a deluxe room.... What word other than WOW would adequately describe the room... there isn't! It was spacious, ultra modern and stylish. Darker colours were present throughout with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Shanghai (opposite direction to the Park). A comfortable king size bed with quality bedding and furnishings. The Bathroom was even more impressive though, seperate and large freestanding luxury jacuzzi bath and shower with a copper theme. I was blown away considering I paid the equivalent of £46pn... Breakfast was on one of the upper floors, typical 5* hotel extensive selection of hot and cold food and beverage options. The staff weren't too skilled at making an english breakfast tea though...I had to describe it in detail but they were very friendly and professional. Bless them, the English language wasn't the strong suit of any of them but they did their best to understand.. respect for that. This peaceful location just around the corner from a large and relaxing park I found to be far more pleasent than the incredibly busy and crowded Bund area and Nanjing road. Granted big name luxury hotels are all over this area but they cost an absolute fortune (more than triple what I paid) and it's a far cry from a peaceful area. I'm glad I chose a hotel more 'in-land' and paid the small extra to travel into town each day using the beautiful, fast and affordable Subway. It was a breeze, completely stress free and I saved a packet.
The room/lift key didn't work properly any day I stayed in that hotel. Had to recode it every day, it was annoying. Staffs were not accommodating. Didn't get even one hour extra late check out after staying there for 5 Days. Only great thing was that the room was nice and well decorated and all amenities perfect. But won't stay there again as 'service level' is more important than decoration.
